Confirmed from Rotary Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxed, park offering picnic tables and lake views.
What runners say about Rotary Park
“It is a nice place to sit and enjoy the scenic view of the harbour and take in the historic scenery of the lakeshore city with buildings preserved to maintain the historic look.”
Beautiful, beautiful spot for events, walking, restaurants and people watching.
I love to add Rotary Park into my running loop. Sunshine or not this place inspires me with it's three American flags as well as the tribute to fishermen who put Port Washington on the map. On windy days pack your jacket and be sure to enjoy the sound of the waves.
Very nice park to walk around at, good spots to fish at. Just be very careful where you walk with the lake being open where all of the rocks are. You can see lots of fish jumping up out of the water and swimming throughout the lake. It’s a pretty cool spot
This park isn't very large but there is so much great scenery. This would be a great place for pictures of people with amazing and beautiful backgrounds. There is also a little rock path you can walk on in the back of the park.
